HTC Unveils Newest J Butterfly, a Waterproof One (M8) With a Real Camera
I wish they had released these instead of the m8 (but with the same casing as the m8). The only make beef I have with my phone is the camera.

Dropped a dumbbell on my Nexus 5 the other day. Don't know if I should get it repaired or use it as an excuse for a new phone.
I don't even know what the latest good phones are. Decisions.

So AndroidGAF, I'm due for an upgrade in September on AT&T and have been looking at the One M8, but am also wondering what you think about it compared to the G3, as well as other phones on the (very nearby, hopefully) horizon.
I really like the M8 for Sense 6 and the Dot View case, but I don't really want to miss out on a more up-to-date phone, even if it's only subtly better. I dunno, trying to weigh things out here.

Will this wireless charger work with my LG G3?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Because if you were real doge you wouldn't be using that crap ass keyboard to begin with!!!

Yep, any QI charger should work (as long as you don't have US G3). I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JGH66EC/
If its the same sensor as the E8 it's apparently still awful.

Ugh, that's the 1/4 OmniVision piece of shit. Absolutely terrible.
Thanks.
Also having used my LG G3 for a few days I come to realize there's quite a few of apps not supported but the device.
How do I sideload?
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
While it could be, I doubt it is.
I mean we already know it has the duo setup and dual flash not found in the E8.
I think if anything this could be a preview of next year's camera on their main phone.
1. Go to settings > security > check Unknown sourcesThanks.

2. Download the app's .apk to your device
3. Open the .apk and install
PS. Don't pirate.
If it's from a reputable source and the actual app then yes, it will.

Can you use multiple languages at once with Fleksy? I love that about SwiftKey.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
All of you who have recommended Fleksy should be ashamed of yourselves. I thought you were all smarter than this.

Do you notice a difference in the camera? Do you notice any other differences?
I couldn't find out how to. The reason why I stopped using it.

Not if the phone isn't supported by the app in the first place, or...? Not actually sure, but it would make sense that an app that can't be downloaded can't be updated either. Or maybe it can, once it's already been installed...?
That's a must if you're using a Samsung device. Can't believe some people actually prefer TouchWiz to vanilla (or vanilla with additional features, like CM) Android. I guess TW has some nifty features vanilla doesn't, but the bad far outweighs the good IMO.
Still trying to act like that Moto X has a good camera now post updates huh?
It's went from mediocre to decent over several updates in the past, so I'm just wondering if it got even better now like the patch notes say.
I'm interested in the X+1 too, but you need to chill out with talking about it 24/7. This is almost as bad as Pctx. We should probably wait a little for the leaks of the final version and specs.
Still testing out the camera. (I can confirm it's improved a great deal since launch)
Battery life is better. 4.4.2 introduced an annoying drain.
UI feels even more buttery and quick.
4G and 3G radio seems even stronger.

When did mediocre become a synonym of terrible?
No one is talking about the X+1, but now that we are.... does anyone know when in august Moto is planning to announce?
Nice, I'll need to tell my mom to update soon, she's pretty bad about that haha
I've always used them interchangeably...

I just found this thread and wanted to pop in and say hello. Been a long time iOS user since the iPhone 3g days, and finally decided to give Android a shot when I got the chance to buy a OnePlus One. Had it for a few weeks and love it. I really like the customization options, especially with Cyanogen mod installed out of the box.
I don't know if this is old or what but you can get the N5's Google Now launcher for any phone

So here is a dumb question.
I have always had phones with a miscrosd slot, so as a result I always backed my apps up using Titanium to the microsd card and never worried about wiping data before installing a new rom.
I have a OPO now, which doesn't have a microsd slot. So when I wipe data, will it wipe my backups if they are just sitting in a folder under /sdcard? Do I need to store my Titanium files off phone?

I really had no idea how bad off the phone was with all the bloat ware on it. The Samsung apps, the T-Mobile crab, TouchWiz.
Now everything is super slick.
Although, besides flashing the new rom I really don't know where to go next with customizing the phone. Is Cyan pretty much the top end for Android mods?
When you wipe data for a new ROM, the virtual SD portion of the storage is not erased. As long as you don't do a full reset (forgot the exact terminology used in recovery) you'll be fine.
Simply put, wipe data/cache won't touch virtual SD stuff.
Gotcha, good to know. Don't know how I have made it this far without figuring that out.

I only went 64gb. Thought 128 was too much lol
Yes. You can sometimes get away with just wiping dalvik/cache when upgrading your current rom, but even that can cause issues in rare instances.
So when people refer to cache, they mean dalvik cache? Funnily enough I don't use dalvik, but I'll still wipe it.
One more: when I flash Gapps will they be auto updated when new updates come out?
Cache and dalvik cache are two different things and almost anyways recommended to wipe both.
Yes, flashing a gapps package means they will function identically to if they were installed on your phone already.
Installing a new ROM will mean you will probably be back to dalvik until you change it to ART again.
What rom are you trying?
Giving PA a spin.
This is my first time trying out a custom ROM, and it's pretty straight forward, the only problem is how fragmented the files and versions and documentation are in the ROM scene.... but I think I figured it out after a long night.

I've been using Android since the HTC Evo 4G days and lately I've been wondering how is life in the other side (iOS). I'm thinking about getting the new iPhone 6 (5.5" variant, Im currently rocking a Note 3 and for my gigantic hands it is just perfect). What Android-gaf says, yay or nay?
P.S. I've been rooting since the Evo, so I know quite a bit about rooting, custom ROM's and the such. I just want to try something different (I can always go back to Android in a year).
